Cutler Center 2012-2013 Annual Report - Babson College

Leadership Team
There were several major changes to the leadership team this year. Michael Goldstein succeeded Kathy
Hevert as Finance Division Chair, and Ryan Davies succeeded Michael as the Faculty Director of the
Cutler Center. Karl Honerlaw has assumed the expanded role of Cutler Center Program Coordinator.
The current leadership team is as follows:
Michael Goldstein, Ph.D., Professor of Finance and Chairperson, Finance Division
F. Mark D’Annolfo, Managing Director of the Cutler Center and Faculty Advisor, Cutler Center
MCFEs
Ryan Davies, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Finance and Faculty Director of the Cutler Center
Rick Spillane, CFA, Faculty Director of the Babson College Fund, and Cutler Center board
member
Jack Cahill, Manager, Cutler Center Research and Instructional Services
Karl Honerlaw, Cutler Center Program Coordinator
It is also important to note that the finance faculty, Cutler Center Board, and Executives-in-Residence
continue to play a very important role in the success of the Center.
We would like to thank Kathy Hevert, who completed her three-year term as Finance Division Chair
last summer, for her contribution. The growth and success of the Cutler Center would not have been
possible without her leadership and enthusiasm.
Governance
In addition to the Cutler Center leadership team meeting and interacting on a regular basis, there is also
an external Board of Advisors consisting of senior investments and finance professionals. See Exhibit A
for a list of our board members. Catherine Friend White M’86, Founder of the wealth management firm
FinArc, LLC. has been the Chair of the Cutler Center Board for the last two years and has agreed to
another one-year term as Chairperson. Our newest board member added this year is Kathryn Karlic ‘76,
Group Vice President, Institutional Investment Management, Willington Trust (M&T Bank). This brings
the total to 15. We are targeting a board of 20 members.
Our fall Board meeting took place on September 27, 2012 at Babson College. Our spring board meeting
is scheduled for May 15, 2013 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This new format of a three hour meeting is
designed so there will be less “broadcast” by the Cutler Center’s leadership team and more discussion
and feedback from the board.
A reception will follow the meeting. The trustees, overseers and Babson’s president-elect Dr. Kerry
Healey have been invited to the reception to meet the team and learn more about the Cutler Center’s
important work.
